really happening to the global economy with much stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. report on. the stories that shaped this week western nations are inching closer to military intervention in the syrian conflict with plans to set up a no fly zone and threats to the rising strike on the country. who isn't muscular and his brave book is declared sane and gets twenty one years in jail while his anti islamic agenda says as an inspiration for even more radical muslims. a scandal that unites muslims and jews in anger often german rabbi was charged for performing the second despite a recent controversial card ban on the practice. and britain has withdrawn its threat to go into the ecuadorian embassy and arrest really massage by up to a block of south and north american nations a sign with peter in the diplomatic wrong.

at six am here in moscow are you watching r t foreign policy came a step closer this week to engaging in syria's internal conflict as the u.s. and its allies a desk all to fresh threats france suggested that western nations could consider setting up a no fly zone over the stricken country without a u.n. security council mandate a little earlier president obama for the first time said he could authorize military action on the syrian territory marina portnoy reports from new york. as the violence in syria continues increasing western countries may be inching closer and closer towards military intervention this past week the u.s. britain and france all separately signaled when or why they would take direct

action u.s. president barack obama said that washington would intervene if the syrian government deployed chemical or biological weapons against civilians britain echoed america's sentiments while france called for the consideration of a partial no fly zone to be imposed over syria's airspace and that is a suggestion that u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton previously made now the syrian deputy prime minister who was visiting moscow this week for talks has accused western countries of reaching for any reason that would lead to direct intervention he also said that president obama's threats are linked directly to the u.s. elections damascus also drew parallels between western focus on syria's chemical weapons and the invasion of iraq where the existence of suspected chemical weapons were never confirmed this uptick uptick in talk and threats over

military intervention into syria comes as the un security council is scheduled to have a ministerial meeting on syria on aug thirtieth that meeting was called for and will be chaired by france reporting from new york marina r.t. . syrian opposition activists have accused. of slaughtering up to three hundred civilians and tanya damascus the reports are difficult to verify but the government says it's carried out an anti terror operation in the area the rebels claim that these are the latest in a series of similar previous accusations that all came just as international policy to decide their next moves on syria dr kevin barrett tunes a specialist in the affected region told odd to you earlier that he believes the timing is no coincidence but once again as with the houla massacre we have a very interesting set of circumstances where right before this u.n.

ministerial meeting coming up on august thirtieth we have a big orchestrated p.r. event designed to smear the government in damascus and prod the west into intervening in syria and i'm very suspicious i was asked about this shortly after the school massacre and i think we need to wait and see what really happened and there are some indications that much and perhaps most of the killing in the whole atmosphere was actually perpetrated by the rebel forces and the same thing might be true this time the so-called no fly zone of course what that really is is just a euphemism for an aerial attack on the country yet again i'm told that if western countries do try to take over syrian airspace they may very well be shot out of the skies and so i certainly hope they don't try because this is the world to the brink of a very dangerous confrontation. over twelve thousand christians are trapped in a syrian village near the lebanese border besieged by rebels that to its blockade

has caused shortages of food medicine and other crucial supplies people can leave the area due to the threat posed by rebel snipers meanwhile across the border in lebanon the situation remains fragile following a spike in syrian related sectarian violence this fifteen people have been killed and more than one hundred injured in clashes between pro and anti assad gunmen troops were deployed to stop the trouble they were based political analyst dr franklin mander says there's growing dread on lebanese as the violence spill over continuous concierge of my building whose syrian sometimes hides in my apartment they've been round up of syrian national news here in beirut in south beirut even to great deal of fear. people are saying not since the civil war how things is so unlikely to ignite or the people are feeling so insecure but you know the very

broods in tripoli the most certain for the the. alleyways and the battle to bomb instruction right down the middle ironically is the name of a big street called syria street and that really tells the tale up there but we have seen in beirut and other parts of the country a similar the region things are very much on the. still ahead libya marks one year since the fall of tripoli but the celebration is anything but joyous as continued tribal violence threatens to send the country further into chaos. plus the resentment on the rise in part because time as the u.s. continues to blur the legal lines when it comes to its deadly drone strikes. this week in the case of no region mass murderer anders breivik reached its conclusion the right wing fanatic who admitted killing seventy seven people was declared sane by judges has been jailed for

a maximum of twenty one years for his bombing and gun rampage in australia and otay island last year brave big smirk when he heard the verdict in which he says he will not appeal during his final statement here dollar guys for killing even more people and has always existed on his senate see and that the killings were part of this fight against islam cation of no way you countries were suffering a rise in far right activities before the tragedy but as tests are sillier reports critics ideas are fueling even more hatred towards immigrants and islam. there is no doubt about his guilt for right militant unders brave it massacred seventy seven people in norway thirteen months ago to show his rejection of government policies of immigrants and islam all this case once again highlighted europe's deepening divide over immigration had integration and the subsequent radicalization of ideas . last week a twenty nine year old suspected great big sympathiser was charged in the czech

republic officers found weapons and police uniforms in this flat and they believe he was planning a brave extol slaughter. while in norway police are investigating a threatening emails sent to newspapers and politicians from a person who claims to be brave except in command i was my soldiers to give all due respect to our people our culture and our ethnicity. and warn all advocates of multiculturalism they get is this war we are now so deeply in physical violence is . a line that we draw very clearly now multiculturalism in the sense that everybody could keep this culture well this idea which has been the official idea for over for the last twenty years this idea is over there is a leading culture of the european values european culture such far right far has gained traction in europe but it's also angered racism groups and proponents of the

left there are some sort of. displays of opposition. while there's an increasingly vocal wash of ideologies and a rise in political extremes one step at the fringes countries are increasingly criticized for failing to properly engage people on what's needed to sort the problem out and so my social tensions are testing the limits of tolerance across europe not yet despite the obvious threat of a deepening standoff between europeans and immigrants others say europe's tendency to walk on eggshells in the name of political correctness makes any real and honest debate all but impossible when you have. with implication of this comes everyone trying to find some excuse. but condition of life and if we don't send a clear message to everyone far right.

muslim. it's become impossible to understand the police others brave xstrata you may have reached a conclusion but europe still no where near to wending at all to whether the cycle of fear and hatred. just are still here r t brussels. amid growing talk of a crisis of tolerance in the euro but another scandal flares. in germany after a rebel i was shot for performing at second season as a regional court in cologne bad religious circumcision zonday noodle it was outrage among jews and muslims worldwide accusing the authorities of infringing on religious freedom chairman based rabbi just spin a says the issue could be exploited by radical movements there's no question that this issue is of the piece with the minarets read through in them and sort through and with the book question in france with the ritual slaughter question in holland seeing that is particularly striking about this issue is that from the perspective of those who do not actually

ones who are uncomfortable with this of all minorities in their presence this is a fabulous issue because one cloaks the criticisms and the undermining of religious freedoms in protecting the rights of indigenous and so this is a normal position which is a much harder position to say cow when one speaks about it we're going to minarets a ritual slaughter and so this really to a great extent i believe this is the issue goes people in western societies who are going to try and push back against genuine tolerance are going to use it's a very convenient issue for them it also unites almost all jews and almost all muslims so it's killing a number of birds with one stone in a very pretty standard that the diplomatic spat between london and kato has eased as britain has retracted it is read to stone they could join embassy and take julian assange by force there with joel comes just a day after the organization of american states announce its support of ecuador's

maze in the saga involving the weetabix founda always made that brings us the details of the meeting that prompted a break in the standoff. it was a meeting that lasted five hours but eventually ecuador got what it wanted out of the meeting essentially the foreign minister made a speech in which he condemned britain for what he called an assault on your sovereignty and eventually what happened was that these thirty four countries signed this resolution which rejects any attempts to put at risk the inviolability of diplomatic premises anywhere in the world and and expressed solidarity and support for ecuador in their offering of asylum to julian our stance but also to continue talks between ecuador and britain to try and sort out their diplomatic problems the usa and canada are members of this organization and they were very much against this meeting from the very beginning and they all say their expressed reservations about the resolution that was passed in the end but it goes to show

that particularly in its own region ecuador is not acting alone and it's now got huge international backing across the americas but we've seen no movement in britain and stance so far they still remain committed to arresting julian assange and added to fulfilling this court order which says that he must be extradited to sweden whatever happens and in fact we've seen further proof in recent days that britain is not going to abandon its plans to arrest him we had a policeman photographed outside the ecuadorian embassy one of the many policemen who was guarding the embassy twenty four seven holding this piece of paper a piece of restricted information says that june that science should be arrested essentially at all costs whatever it takes even if he emerges in some way in a diplomatic car even if as some have posited here merges in some kind of diplomatic create or that is not going to put the british police off arresting him that they're really very intent on arresting him and fulfilling this court order so

that's a position that hasn't changed in the last few days and i see no reason that it will change as a as a direct result of this but as i say the international pressure is growing meanwhile julian assange has of course still in the ecuadorian embassy in london still very unclear how he will get out. well the twists and turns in julian assange is a long running saga as well as exclusive interview with the i could dorian president rafael correa off a level on a website also on r g dot com find out the details of the free us sun to operation as anonymous had to visit once again take down british websites in support of the weekly this time targeting interpol and the nation's police force.

iranian american council in washington mara she says the gathering shows iran is not as isolated as the u.s. wants the rest of the world to believe. there are one hundred ninety three members of the united nations general assembly and about one hundred twenty of them are going to be in teheran with some kind of diplomatic representation. because that's how many members there are of the nonaligned movement so you know it's a great talking point to say that iran's international isolation will continue but if you look at the totality of the world a large degree of countries maybe don't agree entirely with what the united states led sanctions are doing and what they're seeing to accomplish. doesn't take space just a few days after the u.n. atomic watchdog declared the recent talks with iran had failed israel claim that to run is speeding up its work on a nuclear bomb with the slime of state insisting it's only the syrian peaceful energy some experts believe the west rejection of iran right to the atomic energy could backfire but there's no doubt that iran has quite

a bit of support among the nonaligned movement you know among those countries that are the nuclear have nots if you will. they do in fact have a lot of support for the point of view which the spa was which is that they have a right to enrich uranium the western powers are essentially taking trying to take that away from them for political purposes essentially using a double standard or even worse. now remember you can find all the latest stories comments and videos on our website at r.t. dot com there's a look at some stories to tell you right now. close a don't make that the man or do they find out what a tired to avoid when trying to board a passenger plane in the u.s. . punk protests aboard a jew wanted to see right members feel russia will be able to recruit forty seven is to stage a new performances. so

thank you. thank.

god the world you're watching r t thanks for being with us on the threshold of the first anniversary of the fall of tripoli libya seems to be marking the event with violence and chaos and the latest in a series of recent attacks on city shrines salafi islamists were blamed for blowing up and bulldozing a stuffed in the centuries sanctuary sectarian tensions in libya have reached new levels off to see if the religious sites were destroyed by i'm still office and government security forces this against the background of severe ethnic clashes which have spiraled since colonel gadhafi was also good most recently at least twelve people were killed and dozens injured after the fighting parties use heavy weaponry including and afghans political analyst and consultant of things in libya will only just and deeper into chaos. libya is following the same trend as all the

other countries where there was a for sure jeanne we have the same scenario in iraq where the same situation in afghanistan we've got the situation in libya which again of course regime and as you would expect there will be breakaway groups because at the end of the day although gadhafi was a fraudster in many ways he brought that country from the doldrums into great prosperity and the wrong government got in and showed the military is still trying to pull the string you say and of course such failing very fast and i think we will see a natural rebellion perfect like it's ongoing in iraq like is ongoing in syria and egypt. and now a look at some other stories making headlines around the world a series of insurgent attacks of left at least eight people dead in iraq two policemen were killed and one injured in an early morning shooting in the country sells hours later gunmen opened fire and shot dead three private security guards in
